2017 Life Logs, Day 288: Back on Cape Cod
Date: Sunday, October 15, 2017
Weather: Partly Cloudy, Warm Day, Stormy Night; High 76, Low 61 degrees F
Location: Back Home in The Studio, Falmouth, MA
After a run of absolutely beautiful, warm days, tonight it is stormy. As I neared the Cape this afternoon, it got misty and then fog set in. Now the wind is blowing about 25 mph with rain. So I am back on a stormy Cape Cod. The forecast, however, shows that sunshine will return by Tuesday. The predicted high temperatures are in the 60’, not the 70’s, but with sunshine, that is fine with me.
I had an incredible four days in New Hampshire visiting friends. Thank you to all. Meeting with yacht club friends in Concord is always special as I get to see so many friends at one time. And the three days in the Portsmouth area were just glorious. Portsmouth, NH, and Kittery, ME, are on either side of the Piscataqua River, and both are beautiful. I love the old homes and rocky shoreline. But I also love the sand beaches of Cape Cod. I just need to make sure I get out and walk along the shore here at home, just as I did along the rocky shore in New Hampshire. I will spend most of tomorrow waiting for a phone call from Justin as he can’t be sure when he might have a connection. But whenever that happens, we plan to go over an updated list of needs and get that list out to people who have indicated that they want to contribute. I am continually in disbelief of the dire situation in Puerto Rico, but I have been honored and overwhelmed at the generosity of friends. Thank you to all who have contributed. And to those waiting for that specific list of items needed, it will hopefully be coming your way tomorrow night.
